How are things today? I keep looking at this thing every day and you have a lovely family and network of support xxxx

Owen and I have been in the hospital since 8.30am having bloods to see if he’s started puberty early. It was all organised which makes a change and Owen so good having the canula in. He got a treat afterwards!

GOt home about 2.00pm so it was quite long time but they kept taking blood every half hr so time flew by quite quickly. Just got to wait for the results now.

Keep you chin up and keep positive.

Any suggestions what Rose would like for her birthday yet hun?

You see, I am reduced to asking questions about Ice Cream, don’t do this to me!

I will be on her more now that Orla (thankyou) has told me where to click. (I was’nt even aware that I had to click anywhere, it just appeared in front of me yesterday when I selected the link. Hopefully, by the time you both come home I will have mastered this lark.

Hope you are both well and in fine fettle.

Whats with these security words we have to write before we send our message???? Mine was ‘obnoxious’ this time….. Are they having a bloody dig at me? hee hee… If they ask me to write ‘fatty boom boom’ next time, I am giving up!!!

I hope ye are settling in ok, it doesnt sound as nice as the last hospital. Lets hope the time goes quickly for you both.

Gary is going to Scotland on Sunday to work and I have decided to go up with him. Might be a laugh. We will be staying in Liverpool on Saturday night with friends, then on to Edinburgh on Sunday, back to Newcastle on Monday and Lincoln on Tuesday. Oh the life of a high flying jetsetter like me!!!

No news right now, I will message you agian once I get home and fill you in on our usual trials and tribulations!

Hope Grace is well and settling in well.

Love Siobhan X

talk soon xxxxx

If you click on the Grace’s Blog title on top you will open it on the front page and will always get to see the most current update. Then you can click on the comments if you want to read them. We are moving into our newly built house at the moment too, I feel your pain! I wish we could hire people to magically transport everything but hopefully we’ll be in by Sunday night.

Hi Leanne and Grace,

I hope you are both doing well. I hope you managed to get out for an ice-cream. it must be tough getting adjusted to the heat and humidity. it certainly saps your energy. I hope everything goes well in this hospital. It is good that the rehabilitation side of things seem to be very good. it is a pity you have to go to another building for it though. I am sure you’ll get into a routine pretty quickly and it’ll become easier. It must be tough adjusting to the new and different ways of doing things.

We are all thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.

Hopefully catch you for a chat this evening.

Lots of love,
Orla xxx

Sorry to hear its a bit hard going but I am sure you will both fight your
way through. Not much good at this sort of thing as you know
Take care both of you and a big KISS for Grace from grandad
Will keep up to date by checking blog
Speak soon

Do you want anything sending over?? Email me your address & I’ll get some goodies off to you, I’m sure Rose left a couple of fruit shoots & marshmallows somewhere – ha ha ha! Seriously though send me the add and I will send you one of my famous (well my brother loves them) Red Cross Parcel’s out to you both.

Thank you for our card it was REALLY kind of you and so thoughtful, it meant a lot (HUG)

Uncle Matt thinks he’s Bill Gates now he’s got the hang of this – we might be off line for a little while after we move but I’m sure it won’t be long as I’ll feel like my arm’s fallen off

Ok going to go a culinary delight needs to be created and it won’t do its self

Love & massive hugs to you both xxx

PS. thanks for the card.

Matt

Well it’s 7.04am here and Rose is still putting up zzzzz’s, I will have to wake her shortly as you know how grumpy she can be in the mornings. She is doing really well and her behaviour isn’t too far off her baseline so when Dad gets home she will be even better. She has been having about 9/10 hours sleep per night but getting her off can be a challenge, as you know only too well!!

Hope you and Grace are looking after yourselves and the state of the hospital isn’t too difficult to deal with. It sounds like you may have a lot of time on your hands with no shops etc nearby, hope the time doesn’t hang too heavy for you and that you have everything you need.

Your Nan sends her love and I have had to promise her that I will give her regular bulletins so I will ring her later.

‘Huggles’ to you both, and a big kiss for Grace

Mum, Ged and Rose xx
